My new listing: Condo at the Santa Barbara Polo Club

My new listing at the Santa Barbara Polo Club is something that is rarely available in Santa Barbara. It’s the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the play from your own private balcony. After the game is over, the new owners will appreciate relaxing and enjoying the ocean views with breathtaking sunsets.
Don’t miss out on this rare opportunity. This is only the second time the unit has been offered for sale. Featuring a spacious bedroom and 1 bath, the entire unit is well appointed; from the living room with its cozy fireplace, to the bright and open feel. Other amenities include an assigned 1-car carport.
The Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, founded in 1911, is the third oldest United States Polo Association, (U.S.P.A.) Club still in existence in the United States. An exhibition polo match was first played at the Santa Barbara Agricultural Park’s 1894 Flower Festival. This match encouraged sufficient local interest in the sport that by 1902, the fledgling Club boasted a 40-member roster. Polo flourished within the community, drawing players to the area.
The late ’20’s and mid ’30’s, teams, horses, and players would arrive by train, unload from the stock cars, and walk through downtown Santa Barbara to the Club. Sundays at the Club became a great social event during that era. Spectators gathered to view the sport dressed in the finest and latest of fashions and picnicked at the fields with large blankets and staff to serve the noonday meal. The games were riveting, fast and furious. Players graced the fields while guests enjoyed the players’ skills, basked in the mountain views, and were lulled by the sounds of the nearby ocean.
In 1974 the Club was renovated to encourage a new renaissance in polo. This included 141 deluxe condominium units, 2 swimming pools, a Jacuzzi, eight tennis courts, a tennis clubhouse, an exercise track for the horses, an arena, stabling for 350 horses, and three turf fields. Today, the Club is known for its parties, elegant events and fine dining during the polo season and year-round.
If this sounds like the perfect home or pied-à-terre, you should definitely act quickly. If you miss it, however, I would be happy to show you other amazing properties in the upscale communities of Santa Barbara. For instance, you could be living a life of Refined Elegance in Birnam Wood in your own richly appointed residence that features expansive mountain views and luxury amenities throughout.
